All our softwood cladding timbers are available untreated or treated. We can also offer a range of hardwood, specialist, and softwood cladding including oak, western red cedar and Siberian larch.
Thermowood is a timber (Finnish pine or spruce) that has been through a heat treatment that is in excess of 200 degrees centigrade. Through this process chemical and structural changes occur in the wood thus making a durable and stable timber with a life span of around 30 years. With this new found stability it makes a great cladding timber . This process also mans that heat and sound insulation is improved by about 30% compared to other pressure treated cladding timbers. No chemicals are used in the treatment process but the changes that incur increase its biological resistance to decay and pests.
It can have a strong and boatful depth of colour which left will naturally turn silvery. You can apply treatments with UV protection. A clear or pigmented wood oil, wax, wood stain, paint or varnish is acceptable. Coatings with UV protection will protect the Thermowood surface from lightening and also enhance the natural structure pattern of the Thermowood. Surface treatment can be done immediately before installation or immediately after installation by applying a thin protective layer to the wood.
American red oak was recently used to create this lovely BBQ casing. Again going through the thermo process.

Accoya
Your exterior wood cladding needs to weather any storm, in style. We know that aesthetics, low maintenance and durability are crucial. What you may not know is that Accoya out-performs even the most durable tropical hardwood cladding.
By combining superior stability and durability with the beauty of natural wood, you can achieve the look and the performance you want from your timber cladding. Not to mention Accoya’s world-leading sustainability credentials.
Decking and other Accoya products are available.
Performance
in environment, time and design
Exterior timber cladding has to withstand any weather. Resistant to rotting, Accoya cladding is likely to stay free of any visible distortion over its lifetime – which means fewer call backs than typical wood cladding. A cost-effective choice for lasting performance.
Sustainability
unrivalled in the market
Now you can meet the most demanding of planning requirements. Accoya wood cladding is 100% non toxic and contains no biocides or harmful chemicals. Each cladding panel is made from timber that’s fully sustainable.
Finish
that delivers your aesthetic vision
Stay true to your vision with a range of finishes, including Shou Sugi Ban and bespoke board sizes and fixings. Left untreated, your exterior wood cladding will weather naturally. But if you’d prefer to coat it, Accoya cladding makes the ultimate surface.
Finish Line Cladding
The Finish LIne Cladding Collection is the end result of collaboration between some of the world's most progessive materials suppliers.
The Finish Line Collection includes 12 unique colour options. These range from traditional wood finishes like the Summer Oak option to more contemporary finishes such as Slate Grey, Apricot and Charcoal.
Durable:
Accoya Timber is the only CLASS 1 DURABLE product that can offer a 50 year warranty.
Sustainability:
Acetylation is the process of reacting a sustainably-sourced, fast growing Radiata pine softwood with acetic anhydride (a derivative of acetic acid; the main constituent part of vinegar). This process alters the cell structure of the timber, reducing its ability to absorb water. The result is a timber that has extremely low shrinkage and swelling as well as superb dimensional stability, making it the perfect material for cladding.
All Accoya Timber is grown and sourced from sustainable certified wood farms.
Quality:
By combining the highest quality timber, coatings and surface treatment technologies, the Finish Line cladding collection delivers a peerless, fully finished cladding solution:
Accoya timber used for the cladding boards has a warranty of up to 50 years† and its high performance is recognised worldwide.
Its uniquely sanded and brushed surface allows the non-film based Sansin coating to penetrate beneath the surface of the timber, allowing the finish to bind to the cells preventing peeling and cracking.
Our low VOC, factory applied coating process allows for full coverage of cladding boards; front, back and ends, effectively waterproofing the timber in a breathable envelope.
Sansin’s specialised tinting system allows longer lasting protection against UV breakdown.
The subtle matt finish in 12 exclusive, contemporary colours, allows the beauty of the grain to show through.
The entire process, from guidance on specification, to profiling and surface finishing of timber, coating of boards, delivery on site and after sales service, all undertaken under one roof.
Q-Clad Featheredge
Q-Clad Painted Grey Rebated Featheredge Cladding CE (two coats) is made from slow grown Scandinavian whitewood (Picea Abies).
It is kiln dried to a specific moisture content suitable for external cladding use and preservative treated to UC3C providing a 15 year warranty against fungal decay and insect attack (the warranty does not apply to the life of the paint coating).
Factory applied paint provides the best possible paint finish for timber.
Fine sawn finish with one primer coat and one top coat, sharp edges removed.
The product can be over-painted but this is your choice and not a requirement of the warranty.
The more coats applied to the cladding means the greater paint ‘build’ and the greater the ‘build’ the better the finish and resistance to weathering.
For over-painting we recommend the use of Bedec Barn Paints by Bedec Ltd (satin finish is the closest match) or similar high quality waterborne microporous systems.
